SteuerGo FAQs

How is the "My tax return" page structured?

1 Enter data

In the "Enter data" section of SteuerGo, your information for the tax return is recorded using the tax interview. The interview compiles the relevant questions by topic and guides you step-by-step through the relevant pages of your tax return.

Are you participating in the electronic data retrieval? Here you can retrieve your electronic data directly from your tax office if you wish.

2 Tax saving tips

Under this section, you will find current tax tips tailored to your tax situation to help you save even more on your tax return.

3 Check data

During the data check, the data you entered in the tax return is checked for plausibility, e.g. whether your personal details are fully entered.

4 Submit tax return

If you want to submit your tax return, you will find the link to the "Submission" page here.

Note: To submit your tax return to the relevant tax office, your tax return must first be paid for and thus activated.

After you have submitted your tax return electronically for the first time, you will find the receipt confirmation from the tax office (with Telenumber and transfer ticket) along with all important documents related to your tax return available for download here.

Send documents to the tax office

You have the option in all federal states to submit digital documents to the tax authorities. However, you should not send documents unsolicited. The tax authorities expressly request that documents be submitted only after a request from the tax office.

For more information, see the section "Send documents to the tax office".

Restart tax return submission

If you discover an error after submitting the tax return, you can reset and restart a submission that has already been made here.

For changes, simply go through all the steps for submitting the tax return again. The tax office will start processing only after receiving the signed tax return. If you have already submitted, you can reset and resubmit the submission process using the "Restart tax return submission" button.

5 Check tax assessment notice

Here you can check your electronic tax assessment notice and lodge an objection in the event of discrepancies.

As soon as the tax authorities make the electronic tax assessment notice available for collection via ELSTER, you will receive an automatic notification by email from SteuerGo. SteuerGo provides helpful tips and templates for lodging an objection.

Note: The tax assessment check is available from the 2012 tax year and must be activated for a fee!
